For the tournament I went to last summer, I am planning to pass on it this time around (assuming I even get asked to do it again).
I was particularly unhappy at how things went and I felt my call got more attention than it deserved. Sure it was a little touchy and a lot of upset people but like you said, it was a instinctive thing that happened. No matter what game we're doing, we're ultimately paid to officiate a game, not worry about whether we'll upset people or not.
